Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
Breath of Fire Text Cleanup
v0.9 (Mar 07 2020)
====================================================================================================
Disclaimer
==========
- No ownership is claimed by vivify93 over Breath of Fire or the franchise from which it originates.
- Apply this patch only to "Breath of Fire (U) (Mode7).gba".
- Send bug reports to vivify93 via PM on ROMhacking.net.
- If a modder wishes to use this in their project, they are asked to please credit vivify93.
- Players are encouraged to keep a backup of their original ROM or project in case an error occurs.
Breath of Fire is the only one of the existing English-localized games that uses old, outdated names
for legacy terms. (e.g. Winlan, Tyr, etc.) The game is in need of a full retranslation, but in the
meantime, this project sought to update the game to official continuity standards and overall
lend clarity to the dialogue. Many truncated item and equipment names have also received updates to
make their uses more apparent.
Consider combing this mod with the following others.
- Asaki's Color Restoration https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2900/
- Bregalad's Sound Restoration https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3764/
To any potential newcomers, Breath of Fire I and II use 2-letter abbreviations to denote equipment
type. These are the abbreviations the player will encounter in the first game, and their meanings.
SD = Sword RP = Rapier DR = Dagger CW = Claw
SP = Spear BW = Bow HR = Hammer CN = Cane
SH = Shield GL = Glove SL = Sleeve HT = Helmet
AR = Armor ML = Mail CL = Clothes VT = Vest
CT = Coat CP = Cape GN = Gown RB = Robe
RG = Ring BR = Bracelet SF = Scarf
Note on character names:
1. Ryu's name is, for some reason, Zack by default in Breath of Fire for GBA. I tried to change it,
but was unable.
2. Bo is named Gary during his cameo in Breath of Fire III.
3. Karn is referenced as Danq in Ryusui's retranslation of Breath of Fire II.
4. Bleu is consistently named Deis in Breath of Fire III and IV.
5. Gobi and Ox are not given their names from BoFIII (Respectively, Manillo and Worker.) due to a
4-letter name limit.
Players who dislike the changes are recommended to rename characters as soon as Prima is reached.

Sieg, Rai, and Enon.
